Supporting Families. Strengthening Communities. Spreading Hope.

For Supporters of Families with Sickle Cell Disease, Inc., supporting families means addressing the whole family and the whole community.

Our Back to School Bash creates a welcoming environment where families impacted by sickle cell disease — along with families from across the Tulsa community — can access information, build relationships, find valuable resources, and celebrate the beginning of a new school year together.

We believe that when families have access to information, resources, and a strong support network, entire communities become stronger.
